"She Sighed"
Yeah, I don't own the X-Men but good golly I sure wish I did! Kudos to my favourite author, Chris Claremont!
She sighed as she slumped forward in her chair, her fingertips lightly skimming the floor as she dangled her arms, her head resting between her knees. She sat there and stared unseeing for what seemed like an eternity. She watched as a slight breeze blew tiny particles of dust around in her line of vision. Another weighted sigh escaped her. She began making circles on the floor with her index finger, then bored with that, began lazily tracing the grains of wood. She turned her head to the side and stared at the wall. The wallpaper was a pretty shade of rose, with flecks of gold to accent. A lone painting of a renaissance farm scene graced the wall. Augh, she thought to herself. Anywhere but here would be nice.
He watched her from the hallway as she sat there. He'd been watching for a good half hour now as she sighed and slumped in her chair. Leaning against the wall, he flipped a playing card over and over his fingers, much the same as she was tracing circles on the floor. Something about idle hands popped into his mind. He made no move to join her; he contented himself with merely being close by. He was sure that she knew he was there, that she would look up at him when she was ready and he would go to her. That hadn't happened yet. Still, he had patience. With her, he had to. Besides, he always thought that she was worth it.
Logan watched him as he watched her. He had been merely passing by when he noticed the Cajun slumped against the wall quietly toying with one of his trademark playing cards. She had been in there for hours; he had probably been watching her for hours. Logan had no intention of watching them for hours. Dragging on his cigar, he continued on his way to the kitchen to get himself a beer.
Yeah, I'm taking my sweet time with another one of my stories, Rogue Redeux and I've noticed that when I try to update it, it doesn't appear in the up-dated list so I'm writing this to fill the void. Maybe I'll keep going with it? What do you think? Review and let me know!!!
